  Thanks. Logically, I'd expect trace_ext3_sync_file_enter() to be always
called at the beginning of ext3_sync_file(). That means before
filemap_write_and_wait_range()... I guess the easiest way to resolve this
is if Al pulls the tracepoint patch from my tree to his - it's commit
785c4bcc0d88ff006a0b2120815a71e86ecf21ce in
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jack/linux-fs-2.6
